Setting the Border Style and Color of Characters

Borders are lines that can be drawn around any or all of the four sides of a style. In terms of the CSS box model, increasing the padding for a style increases the space between the content and the border.

Not all browsers display border styles the same way. For example, some browsers may not differentiate dotted lines from solid lines. The size and spacing of the dots in a dotted line may also be different between various browsers and operating systems.

Click the tab for the side of the character you want to display a border, and then specify the color, style, and width for that border. For more information about a property, click Help.
